The legendary Pogues have scheduled west coast US tour dates for the fall. This includes multi-day stays in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The band will be one man short for the tour, as guitarist Philip Chevron is currently fighting what’s described as “locally advanced” throat cancer. The unexpected diagnosis required immediate medical attention and has sidelined the “Thousands Are Sailing” writer from touring with the band until his condition improves. This is the first time since the band reunited in December of 2001 that the entire band has not toured together.

The band recently saw much of their catalog undergo the reissue treatment with their first five albums being reissued in expanded format by Rhino. The label produced expanded editions of Red Roses for Me, Rum Sodomy and the Lash, If I Should Fall From Grace With God and Peace & Love and Hell’s Ditch.

Sumerian Records has announced the signing of Atlanta-based band Kenotia. Sumerian founder Ash Avildsen commented on the band:

Janis Joplin and Stevie Nicks are two of my favorite female singers…. because of their lyrics, the emotion in their voices that make you believe what they’re singing, and the fact that they both fronted bands that wrote memorable and infectious music. From the first moment I heard Kenotia, I got chills and felt the same energy. I’ve waited a long time to find a band that had these same incredible qualities.

The band will be part of the “This is Why Wur Hott” Hot Topic-sponsored full US Tour for all of July & August w/ Dance Gavin Dance, A Skylit Drive, Pierce The Veil and LoveHateHero. The group’s debut album, You’ve Dug Your Grave, Now Lie in It will hit stores in late September, and two tracks from the record can be heard at their MySpace page.
